We homeschool and frankly the socialization of public school is one of the reasons we do homeschool.
The kids in public school come from all kinds of families, experience, socioeconomic statuses. Which is great, but also not so great...
Public school kids have cell phones, watch porn, are picking out their pronouns on sixth grade. Some come from stable, two parent families, others do not. Your kids are with those kids and the teachers for 8 hours a day.
Homeschool kids are with other kids in the family, if they have siblings(another reason to have more than one if you can), hang out on play dates and at homeschool co-op with other homeschool kids, can get lessons (sports, art, music) during the week, and know how to interact with people of all ages, types...they are in stores w you, grocery shopping, running errands, and have much better manners and can talk to adults. I found public school segregation by birth year to be an aberration in socialization...
Hilarious! Was writing almost all the same things that you are.
If I want my kid to be socialized, I can beat him up and steal his lunch money at home.
I have had many adults shocked that our kids could actually use eye contact and speak to them, and said please and thank you.
Public school fails society in SO MANY WAYS. They certainly are not turning out good citizens.

Also...homeschooling has been the best thing ever. So much FUN, and so much less stressful. Some days are just pj reading days...it’s glorious.
Where did you find info on tetanus? I would like to know that I don’t have to get it. I’m constantly doing construction stuff around rust and dirt...
Thanks!
